 I decided to use the colours by making my own textured background, inspired by the lovely Kim Ewins http://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com.au/ Check Kim's blog out, her work is amazing

and this is how my layout turned out

The flower is from the gorgeous Jess McKenzie http://thehappyscrappyplace.blogspot.com.au/ 

We were on holidays in Wollongong and having a moment of sillyness ( I make them do these things ) hehe

And now if you are wondering why I am a proud Mummy..... My daughter got Constable of the year last night , so feeling super proud :)

Sunshine and Peace
